Behind the Scenes: NEP Group *HW* [1] CP: NEP [MLS] - Seattle Production in Seattle, Washington

There's something special about rolling into Seattle, Washington for a production day. When NEP Group called on Assignment Desk to bring their vision to life, Cooper Patterson was ready. As the CAMERA OPERATOR on this project, I knew we had the talent, the gear, and the drive to deliver something exceptional.

The day started at 17:00 with a call from Roberto Fernandez, our producer, who laid out the game plan. The shoot centered on *HW* [1] CP: NEP [MLS] - Seattle — the kind of project that demands both technical precision and creative storytelling. Every frame needed to count, and with NEP Group's reputation on the line, there was no room for anything less than our best.

On the technical side, we built our setup around the sony fx9. The lighting conditions in Seattle presented some unique challenges, but that's exactly the kind of problem-solving that makes this job rewarding. Every lens choice, every camera angle was deliberate — designed to capture the story NEP Group needed to tell.

Tacoma vs LA here in Seattle. Set up and tested live u once I was at my post. Grab some broll of players warming up and a shot the flags. Then the game began and just followed the ball. There was a moment where multiple players were being subbed in, but had to quickly switch to where the ball was in play. . It's these moments — the collaboration, the improvisation, the shared commitment to excellence — that separate a good production from a great one.

By 22:00, we had everything NEP Group needed and then some. The footage will speak for itself — clean, compelling, ready to be cut into a story that resonates with their audience. This is what video production in Seattle, Washington looks like when you bring the right crew to the table.
